St Michael's Church, Loddington The earliest part of the Church of England parish church of St Michael and All Angels is the Norman south doorway, which is almost certainly 12th-century. But the church was largely rebuilt late in the 13th or early in the 14th century. Later in the Middle Ages a Perpendicular Gothic clerestory was added to the nave. Fragments of Medieval stained glass survive in one window of the chancel. The pulpit is Jacobean. The church is a Grade II* listed building.
